What would you get for him? A provisional 5th round pick? That's giving him away to be honest. Most teams throw 5th to 7th round picks around as a cheap bargaining chip in trades, and often with the caveat that unless the guy does great, the pick round goes down, and you pretty much got nothing for him. Is that an acceptable risk when you have two untested rookies coming in, and several guys below the #3 receiver level who haven't shown they can step up and do the job at that high of a level. Then there's the injury situations as the season progresses. Last year we had both Watson and Doubs on the bench at the same time. How did that work out for us? Not good at all. Until I'm totally confident that we have 5 receivers who are above Doubs in skill sets, and can offer the chain moving capability of Doubs, there is absolutely no way I would consider trading him or cutting him.It's like the situation with Jaire Alexander. People saying that he should be dumped. But, when he's healthy, where does he fit in the structure of the team? Does he have the potential to be a solid contributor if healthy? Exactly which 4 to 5 CBs do they have when camp breaks who are better than him? Either way, the Packers would be eating a lot of contract money in dead cap with him, so hanging on to him is a good option. He'd be worth very little in trade, probably nothing. Teams would wait to see if we dumped him and be able to work a low-ball contract with him.We all need to remember one important thing. Last year was still a growing year for Love. His major weakness was field vision. He became focused on one or two receivers on passing downs and did not see additional options on the field. It takes a deep dive into plays to see that, but this is something I'm always aware of because it's really the nuts and bolts of the difference of an elite passing game and a really good passing game. Guys like Manning and Montana had the peripheral vision and could see everyone on the field while looking at one particular spot off where the ball will be thrown. Love isn't there yet. It takes time. Doubs is the guy who was most consistently open, and Love never saw him out there because he hadn't developed that vision yet. If you're a receiver who works ******* perfecting your routes and making solid decisions after a play is busted to give your QB a target, you're going to get frustrated. Doubs did. It was obvious to me. It was also obvious to me that when Love was making it a point to see him out there, Doubs was our primary chain mover. We all saw the amazing catches Doubs had to move the chains on those 3rd catches, but for some reason, too many people have ignored that in favor of being more concerned about the 1 game suspension and the concussions.When people say that we also have to be concerned about him ending up a free agent after the year but at the same time talk about dumping him for a late round draft pick, I don't see that logic. The question of who and who doesn't get a contract extension is a decision that can be made during the season. But not now, before we even hit training camp.</blockquote>
